I’ve recorded hundreds of songs over the years, both with my bandmates and on my own. But one thing I’ve found is that the recording process never goes quite the way you expect. Last week, I recorded five songs with my band Unit. We’re kind of a weird noisy rock band. We went into the studio without much of a plan. We decided we would just set up a few microphones, play our songs and see how things turned out. The recording process was very DIY. We recorded everything in a single room. This means that our microphones picked up all of the instruments at once, so the resulting sound was a bit messy. We even had to use a coat rack and a music stand to hold our microphones. But actually, recording this way can be pretty fun. I’ve done plenty of professional recordings before, but sometimes it’s fun to record in a more unusual way. After we finished, we went home and listened to what we’d recorded. The songs sounded a lot better than we expected! We still have some more work to do before we can release our songs. But I think people will enjoy the unique way in which we recorded them. 26．What does the writer like best? A．Sharing music with others. B．Recording music. C．Writing music. D．Singing music. 27．The name of the writer’s band is ________. A．One B．Unit C．DIY D．Rock 28．What does the author think about the messy recording process? A．It was a complete disaster. B．It was not as fun as professional recordings. C．It was surprisingly enjoyable. D．It was a waste of time. 29．According to the passage, what did the band use to hold their microphones during recording? A．Professional microphone stands. B．Coat rack and music stand. C．DIY microphone holders. D．Studio equipment. 30．How would you describe the recording process of the author’s band Unit? A．Highly organized and structured. B．Messy and DIY. C．Professional and conventional. D．Technologically advanced. 【参考答案】 26．B 27．B 28．C 29．B 30．B 【语篇解读】 本文讲述了作者和自己的乐队录制一首与以往不同的歌曲的过程。 【详情解析】 26．细节理解题。由第一段第一句“One of my favorite things about playing music is recording it …”可知“关于音乐，我最喜欢的事情之一就是录制音乐……”。故选B。 27．细节理解题。由第二段第一句“Last week, I recorded five songs with my band Unit.”可知作者的乐队名字叫Unit，故选B。 28．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The songs sounded a lot better than we expected!”可知作者提到虽然录音过程有些混乱，但实际上录音结果超出预期，故选C。 29．细节理解题。由第三段第四句 “We even had to use a coat rack and a music stand to hold our microphones.” 表明乐队使用了衣架和音乐架来固定麦克风，故选B。 30．细节理解题。由文章第三段“our microphones picked up all of the instruments at once, so the resulting sound was a bit messy”可知，作者录制的过程非常DIY，比较混乱。故选B。 D There were many mysteries about the UFO.

Don’t put your elbows on the table. Don’t need to give tips to all the services you get. But some services, such as hair-cut, need tips.

Also, don’ t wrap (用……包裹) a present in white, black, or blue paper, because they are the colors for funerals (葬礼). Don’t give a knife, because something sharp can cut a friendship. In Russia if you give flowers as presents, you have to give an odd number of them (One, Three, five, etc.) because even numbers of flowers are for funerals.

A．foreigners’ presents B．flowers C．even numbers D．different customs in giving presents C Making music to share with others One of my favorite things about playing music is recording it so that I can share it with others. I’ve recorded hundreds of songs over the years, both with my bandmates and on my own. But one thing I’ve found is that the recording process never goes quite the way you expect. Last week, I recorded five songs with my band Unit. We’re kind of a weird noisy rock band. We went into the studio without much of a plan. We decided we would just set up a few microphones, play our songs and see how things turned out. The recording process was very DIY. We recorded everything in a single room. This means that our microphones picked up all of the instruments at once, so the resulting sound was a bit messy. We even had to use a coat rack and a music stand to hold our microphones. But actually, recording this way can be pretty fun. I’ve done plenty of professional recordings before, but sometimes it’s fun to record in a more unusual way. After we finished, we went home and listened to what we’d recorded. The songs sounded a lot better than we expected! We still have some more work to do before we can release our songs. But I think people will enjoy the unique way in which we recorded them. 26．What does the writer like best? A．Sharing music with others. B．Recording music. C．Writing music. D．Singing music. 27．The name of the writer’s band is ________. A．One B．Unit C．DIY D．Rock 28．What does the author think about the messy recording process? A．It was a complete disaster. B．It was not as fun as professional recordings. C．It was surprisingly enjoyable. D．It was a waste of time. 29．According to the passage, what did the band use to hold their microphones during recording? A．Professional microphone stands. B．Coat rack and music stand. C．DIY microphone holders. D．Studio equipment. 30．How would you describe the recording process of the author’s band Unit? A．Highly organized and structured. B．Messy and DIY. C．Professional and conventional. D．Technologically advanced. D There were many mysteries about the UFO. One of the most detailed (详细的) descriptions of a UFO was given by a nine year-old girl in July 1976. Her name is Gaynor Sunderland. 31 One day on her way home from school, she saw a silver object looking like a saucer (茶碟) in a field not far from her home. The strange craft (飞行物) was about 30 feet long and 9 feet high. It had yellow window along the side. 32 Although Gaynor was very afraid, she did not run away. Instead, she lay quietly in the long grass and watched the door of the strange craft open. She saw two people wearing silver suits come out of the craft. 33 They used the equipment to check the ground. They were short and had large pink eyes. After about half an hour, the two people went back into the craft. 34 Although Gaynor told her mother what she had seen, her family decided to keep quiet about it. They did not want people to laugh at their daughter. 35 They hypnotized (使……进入睡眠状态) Gaynor so that they could be sure she was telling the truth. She told the whole story! She was also able to draw a picture of what she had seen! Choose five sentences out of the six in the box to complete the passage. Each choice should be used only once. A．They were carrying some kind of equipment (设备). B．Gaynor lived in a village in North Wales. C．They went out of their way to run out of the craft. D．On the top there was a light flashing in a kind of box. E．However,18 months later, Gaynor told her story to UFO experts. F．At once there was a loud noise and the UFO took off. 三、选词填空（10分） 阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词，每词限用一次。 marry  popular  as  that  teach  bad  the  by  write  sad Did you hear a strangely beautiful music that is called Moon Reflected on Second Spring? It was played on 36 erhu and it was one of the most moving pieces of music 37 I’ve ever heard. The erhu sounded so sad that I almost cried along with it 38 I listened. Why? I looked up the history of it, and I began to understand the 39 in the music. The music was 40 by Abing, a folk musician who was born in the city of Wuxi in 1893. His mother was died when he was very young. Abing’s father 41 him to play many musical instruments, such as the drums, dizi and erhu, and by age 17, Abing was known for his musical ability. However, after his father died, Abing’s life grew 42 . He was very poor. Not only that, he developed a serious illness and became blind. For several years, he had no home. Fortunately, he got 43 and had a home again. Abing’s amazing musical skills made him very popular during his lifetime. 44 the end of his life, he could play more than 600 pieces of music.

It has become one of China’s national treasures. 四、任务型阅读（10分） 请阅读下面的非连续性文本，根据语篇内容，回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。 Gift giving is common. Over time, different cultures have developed their own gift-giving customs and traditions. Gift giving in China In China, gifts are given for holidays, such as birthdays or special events like a dinner at a friend’s home. While it’s true that a gift is just a gift, what is more important is the meaning behind the gift. In China, some gifts need to be avoided including clocks, shoes, umbrellas, knives, green hats, anything in groups of four and anything in black or white. Gift Wrapping (包装)Chinese gifts can be wrapped with wrapping paper. Red is for luck. Pink is for happiness. Gold is for wealth (财富). So wrapping paper in these colors is the best. White and black are the symbols of death and should not be used. Red Envelopes (红包)Wrapping money in a red envelope means good wishes. People usually give red envelopes to kids during Chinese New Year. Gift giving in America Whether a gift is given or not, greeting cards are often used for birthdays, Christmas, Father’s/Mother’s Day, weddings (婚礼), and Easter. In America, common gifts are candies or toys for children, and chocolate, fine food, books, clothes and tools for adults. After receiving a gift, people show thanks to the person by saying “Thank you so much.” or “This is too nice.” Hugs or kisses may be exchanged. Returning gifts is not a must, but thank-you cards are very common. And they should usually be sent out in the same week when the gifts are received. ______ In America, gifts are usually opened at the end of an event or a birthday party, except for the wedding. Gifts are never opened during a wedding. They can be opened only after all the guests have left. 46．What is the passage mainly about? 47．How many countries are mentioned in the passage? 48．What gifts should be avoided when choosing gifts in China? (One example is OK.) 49．When should Americans send out thank-you cards after receiving the gifts? 50．What’s the best subtitle (小标题) of the third textbox? 51．What do you think of the gift-giving culture in China? What are you supposed to do when giving gifts after reading the passage? 五、书面表达 假如你是李华，你的外国朋友Linda打算来中国度假，请你根据以下提示，给她写一封信，介绍一下中国的风俗和餐桌礼仪。 提示：1. 拜访他人之前，应该提前打电话告知； 2. 与他人会面时，应该准时到达，首次见面行握手礼； 3. 与他人聚餐时，不大声说话，不用筷子指着别人。 要求：1. 参考提示内容，可适当发挥； 2. 语句通顺，意思连贯，书写工整； 3. 文中不得出现任何真实信息； 4. 词数：不少于70词 (开头已给出，但不计入总词数)。 Dear Linda, I am glad that you will come to China for vacation. ______________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 试卷第6页，共7页 ( 8 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$■ 2024-2025学年九年级英语上学期第三次月考卷（湖北省卷）】 答题卡 姓 名到 峡考 贴条乖码区 0 0 连重事项 2 上装雅流重生直己的性发观无压是四铺国清班 3 3 四.读写结合（共两节，满分25分】 456 4 第一节任务型饲读（共5小题.每小题2分.满分10分） 9 1.1 A 第二节书面表达（共1题，满分15分） Dear Linda.

Last week, I recorded five songs with my band Unit. We’re kind of a weird noisy rock band. We went into the studio without much of a plan. We decided we would just set up a few microphones, play our songs and see how things turned out. The recording process was very DIY. We recorded everything in a single room. This means that our microphones picked up all of the instruments at once, so the resulting sound was a bit messy. We even had to use a coat rack and a music stand to hold our microphones. But actually, recording this way can be pretty fun. I’ve done plenty of professional recordings before, but sometimes it’s fun to record in a more unusual way. After we finished, we went home and listened to what we’d recorded. The songs sounded a lot better than we expected! We still have some more work to do before we can release our songs. But I think people will enjoy the unique way in which we recorded them. 26．What does the writer like best? A．Sharing music with others. B．Recording music. C．Writing music.

People usually give red envelopes to kids during Chinese New Year.
